Quite a few during the early days. Recreating some fun ‘game’, popular during the Flash days. A work breaker/silencer, etc.

Then, I got bored because they seem to be bad beyond certain complexities. But around Christmas last year, things improved a lot, and I’m getting confident building real ones. In the mid of these, I also got an offer to work with the [pre]sales/GTM team of a large company. So, I have been building working prototypes of bits and pieces of boring enterprise business around the world and have been racking in, if not billions, but very close to it in sales pipeline in about two months. (I did that 1B token in a week thing.) I’m sure the business and sales team will be able to convert 20% to 30% of that in the coming months. I also pitch and presented my work directly to customers and they are coming for more. So, it has been fun.

Lastly, I really wanted to scratch an itch I had for a while—build a Static Site Builder. But I ended up buildig it to be a documentation tool for TypeScript and JavaScript. It can be used as an auto-detect and let it build alongside front-end projects, make it a hybrid so you can add human-written documentation too or just build a Jekyll-esque static site.
